OCRAN D. BUNT, OF BOVDON, GEORGIA.

PLOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 467,853, dated January26, 1892.

Application filed September 4, 1891. Serial MAO/1,793. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom t may concern,.-

Be it known that I, OCRAN I). BUNT, of Bowden, in the county of Carrolland State of Georgia, have invented a new and useful Improvement inPlows, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates, generally, to plows, and more particularly to animproved plowfender, the object of the invention being to provide aspringfender which will readily accommodate itself to the varyingsurface of the soil, and also to provide means whereby saidspring-fender can be quickly and easily attached to a plow, be adjustedthereon, or removed therefrom.

With these various objects in view my invention consists in the peculiarconstruction of the several elements and their novel combination orarrangement, all of which will be fully described herein after, anddesignated in the claims.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a sideview of my improvement. Fig. 2 isa top plan view. Fig. 3 is a transversesection on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawings, lO indicates the beam or stock, 1l thestandard, 12 the plow, and 13 the handles, all of which are of the usualor any approved pattern and arranged in any suitable manner. Alaterallyprojecting bar la, having a rectangular socket 14L at one end,is attached to the beam l0, the said rectangular socket being keyed onthe beam at any desirable point by means of a wedge-key 1lb, insertedbetween the beam and one side of the socket. The bar 14 is preferablyiiat and arranged with its flat face horizontal. A cylindrical-shapedblock 15 is arranged upon the bar 14, said block having a longitudinalaperture, through which the bar is passed, and said block is adjustablysecured upon said bar by means of a wedge-shaped key 15, inserted in theaperture and adapted to bear upon the face of bar 14.

16 indicates the fender, which is rigidly attached to the rear end ofthe spring fenderbar 17, the forward end of said bar being bent upwardand back upon itself, as at 17, the eXtreme end portion of saidrearwardlybent portion being split, as at 17h, and adapted to embracethe cylindrical block 15, the ends of said split portion beingperforated to receive a securing or clamping bolt; 17C, said bolt havinga nut 17 secured thereon and bearing on the outer face of one of thesplit arms, whereby the spring fender-bar is secured upon the block 15by binding or clamping the arms formed by splitting the end securelythereon.

The fender-bar 17 is constructed of some suitable material, and thereturn-bend adds greatly to the elasticity of said bar, whereby thefender will easily accommodate itself to all irregularities of the soil.The bar can also be secured at any angle upon the block 15 byunloosening the nut, turning the bar to the desired angle, and thentightening again, thus raising or lowering the fender, as desired. Theblock itself can also be adjusted transversely upon the laterally-projecting bar, and said bar can be adjusted longitudinally upon the beam.Thus it will be seen that I provide a vertically, transversely, andlongitudinally adjustable fender and one that will accommodate itself toall irregularities of the soil. l l

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is 1. Thecombination, with a beam, of a laterally-projecting bar secured thereto,a spring fender-bar bent vertically upward and rearward at its forwardend, said rearwardly-bent portion being adjustably secured upon thelaterally-projecting bar, and a fender carried upon the rear end of thefender-bar, substantially as shown and described.

2. The combination, with a beam, of a longitudinally adjustablelaterally -projecting bar secured thereon, a cylindrical blockadjustably secured upon said bar, a fender-bar adjustably secured uponsaid block, and a fender attached to the rear end of the fenderbar,substantially as shown and described.

3. The combination, with the beam, of the laterally-projecting barsecured thereon, the cylindrical block mounted upon the bar, the springfender-bar bent back upon itself near its forward end, saidrearwardly-bent end being split, as described, the clamping bolt IOO andnut, and the fender secured t0 the rear the clamping bolt and nut, thefender, and end of the fender-bar,substantiallyus shown the wedges, allarranged substantially as Io and described. f shown and described.

4. The combination, with the beam, of the 5 laterally-projecting barhaving a rectangular OCEAN D BUNT' Socket, the cylindrical block mountedon the Witnesses: bar, the spring fender-bar bent upon itself J. W. A.ROWLAND,

:ind having its bent end split, as described, L. E. SMITH.
